Neighbours: Has Paul become too attached to Thomas? Can Wendy and HotRod survive catfish and far away jobs? Will Taye become Erinborough’s answer to Gok Wan? NO SPOILERS

[MiddleClassProblem]

Come check in for bank holiday Monday’s ep!

No spoilers.

Sorry Smidge, I didn’t consider that a spoiler as it was published openly in the wider world for all to see.

Anything that hasn't happened on screen is a spoiler.
I'm not on FB, Insta etc so had no idea

I always thought of spoilers as giving away details of a storyline, never considered a new cast member as a spoiler, but fair enough, I guess some people do. I’ve flagged my comment above to be deleted for those who haven’t already seen it.

I would agree with you, @paranoiaofpufflings, to my mind, it is hardly a spoiler to know that an old character is going to return at some point before the series closes down, we have absolutely no idea of what her plot would be.

We have a spoiler thread is you want to discuss there. We’ve not been active on it for a while so no risk of reading much in the way of actual spoilers I don’t think.

We had the same thing when Toadie left. It was on the news and everything but some people hadn’t seen it so we agreed going forward to only discuss on screen stuff and our own guesses. But then Toadie didn’t really leave anyway 😂

Everything on it has happened. We’ve been shit at looking for spoilers lol.

Andrew has turned into a self satisfied, smug hypocrite lately and I'm here for it! TEAM WENDY!

it Was obvious where the Rhett and Colton story was going!

I’d never have guessed Wendy would get teaching job at EH and the other candidates must have been dreadful if she was the best

love the way Max gets lumbered with his sister, who would want that

I think it's so irresponsible of Max's mum (and dad, if Shane is also the sisters dad) to leave her with max. She's school age and he's not much older. Surely if there was a bullying problem there are other local schools she could have gone to (although I have a sneaking suspicion she was the bully). Seems like their parents don't want to parent. First sign of any trouble, send them to ramsay street!

Yes and money is never discussed, will the parents pay her bills

Although it does seem like the most standard neighbour plot line too. At least they are related this time!

I thought the same!

The going into the bathroom together line was a bit much, would they really behave like that when there were other younger people around

also wouldn’t Saskia’s mum worry about the older housemates and where was the convenient spare room for Saskia

I thought that about saskia being in a house with adults too.

I laughed at her line to Byron.

Will miss dr Darcy’s evil plotting face.

They surely can’t put Holly and Andrew together.

And I loved the references to old cast recently. it’s been lovely. I want it saved again!

I know my first thought when parenting my younger 3 kids when they were being annoying teens was, "I'll just send them to their 20 year old brother's share house. That will fix it!"

I'm actually quite intrigued now about what way the Andrew Holly storyline is going. I'm getting a sense of Holly thinks she's being nice (and is historically stupid and naive) and Andrew is growing a full on crush and is about to 100% humiliate himself. Still Team Wendy here. She has the patience of a saint.

It’s just so weird. I don’t like it at all. I think it’s because Holly looks and seems younger than she is.

Agree the Holly and Andrew thing is just weird and just inappropriate.

Now with Darcy gone and Chelsea, I wonder who is going to be the new evil resident.

Gut says Saskia is prime to cause some drama. I hope she’s a bit Machiavellian. I’m guessing there will be a rando villain next.

Villain! That’s the word I was looking for!

Saskia looks familiar but I can’t place where I’ve seen her before.

Also because she is the friend of his daughter. I could only think of my children’s friends in a parental way. To think of them in other ways is creepy, regardless of age.

Maybe they’re following the Den Watts example?!! Andrew is much better looking than Dirty Den so I can see why Holly would fancy him plus she’s always had terrible taste in men (until Max) & this would show that she’s really just like her mum after all!

I can’t see the attraction for Andrew though - not only is she his DD’s best friend, but she also looks like such a little girl that it would give definite paedophile vibes!

Poor Sadie. Her best friend Holly with her dad. And her ex being pursued by saskia

Yes could be

creepy though

Max is lovely
